My sister has ths pluck, the courage, e self-sacrificing spirit of a true hearted woman. This Is not putting it strongly when one stops to con sider what she has done for her hus band who, no doubt, she loves devoted ly Even those who may be prejudiced against her cannot refrain from re garding her a* a heroine, a* she I*. It Is nevertheless a fart that my alstsh disobeyed her moth.r. mltted It. I am not reproaching for that now, ftir she haa been Ished bitterly. Whether she waa a dutiful doughUM Is a small and insignificant matter at| present, compand to th. situation InJ which she finds herself. But In hen heart she muat know that her mother’ never advised her wrongfully or ueR-' ••d upon her In any way. an Influence, that waa other than good. Her duty. Is to stand by her husband, with whom, she I* lighting eo bravely and stead fastly to save him from death, prison or the mail house. Her atruggt. makes a wonderful, thrilling atory, which nils and stirs one's heart with admira tion for her. Even If there are flaws In her atory she is to be admired, ac-l claimed and commended, tor through It she undoubtedly hoe preserved her husband's life. Her story must have aunk eo deeply* Into the hearts nf the Jurymen that; the Impression will ramaln than as: long as they llvp. If my slater waa 1 right, and her husband was right la doing what he did. It he believed ho was justified. It Is my earnest hope that the result of the trial will be Jn accordance with this. MRS.
